Sakura and Ako really struggle with studying for tests...

In their case, I wonder if it's because they're not interested in the material they're studying

Maybe so...

What would you do in that case, Makino-san?

Fufu...

To get started on something you have no interest in, it's easier to find a source of external motivation, rather than relying solely on your own determination

For example... A deadline, or a reward... Of course, everyone's different- you know Sakura and Ako better than I do, don't you?

Well, at least in my case... Naturally it would have to be something that stimulates my intellectual curiosity... Right

Are you... Speaking from experience, Makino-san?

Indeed... The fact that there's a person who was able to use their impassioned speech to get me to become an idol, even though I had no interest in it at all, is proof enough

You mean...

Ahh... Speak of the devil, that man has come to see me just now
